The following obfervations were made by myfelf, 
at Greenwich, as foon as the Iky became favourable. 
1. At 19 11 38' 21", apparent time, at Greenwich, 
the antecedent, or firfi: limb of Venus, preceded that 
part of the fun’s limb cut by the fixed wire 1 8 7 481^ 
in motion ; and the center of Venus was north of the 
fouthern, or lower limb of the fun, 4' 4". 5 : therefore, 
the center of Venus preceded the fun’s center in right 
afcenfion 6' 18^,9 ; and was fouth of that of' the tun 
in declination u'42". 1. ■ 
2. At i9 h 42' 9", the limb of Venus before fun’s 
limb 1 8' 52 JL"; and was north of fun’s lower limb 
3' 56A8 : therefore, Venus before fun’s center in 
right afcenfion 6' 3 5 and was louth of it in de- 
clination 1 1' 49". 7. But this is marked as dubious. 
3. At i9 h 44' 35", limb of Venus before fun’s 
limb 19'; and center was north of fun’s lower limb 
2 ' 57" .5 : therefore, Venus before fun’s center in 
right afcenfion 6 ' 37". 1 5 and was fouth of fun’s. cen-
